17 weeks after starting my weight loss journey, this past Saturday I hit my initial weight-loss goal of getting down to 350lbs by 05/30/12 with 11 days to spare! Not sure what I'll do to celebrate. I'm already hard at work on completing goal #2 of getting to 325lbs by 08/23/12 (my late Father's birthday, wish he could be here to see all this!)


Me at my heaviest 425lbs.

    Awesome! Keep it up, you are heading in the best direction!

    Ways to celebrate:
    --buy yourself a new piece of clothing
    --take the amount of weight you've lost and donate that many pounds of food to a food bank
    --get a massage for that many minutes you've lost in pounds
    --get a mani/pedi (guys really do enjoy them once they are there)

    Great Job. I like the attitude. A small amount at a time. Pick a weight, get to it, then pick another weight. EXCELLENT.

    50lbs is a huge accomplishment! You should be proud and I think the way you have of setting yourself goals, reaching them and then setting new goals throughout your weight loss journey is ideal. Keep it up, you are doing great!
